—------------------—
This rare war in ancient and modern times ended after the self-explosion of the master of Xingluo Temple. Xu Tianxi and his party were protected by Kong Deming and quickly withdrew from Xingluo Square. From time to time, they looked back at the airspace with worries in their hearts.
"Don't worry. Xuanming Ancestor is quite capable. After being pushed away by the Royal Xu family's ancestor, he did the same as me and took away all the masters of Xuanming Sect. With his Extreme Douluo cultivation, the important figures of Xuanming Sect will not be in danger."
Kong Deming's slightly heavy voice reached Xu Tianxi's ears. Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief and evacuated to a safe place with him. They flew through many corners along the way, with devastation in their eyes.
The scope of this unprecedented war was too wide. Xingluo Square, part of the imperial city, and even buildings within dozens or hundreds of miles around were all affected to varying degrees. The nearby Xinghuang Hotel had already collapsed, and countless people were injured.
After catching his breath, Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and quickly asked Kong Deming:
"Master Kong, what happened to those evil spirit masters? The number of civilian casualties in this battle is probably in the hundreds of thousands. If they take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, the consequences will be disastrous."
The Mingdu explosion in the original novel really fed a lot of evil soul masters. Many strong men of the Holy Spirit Church had breakthroughs because of it. Even Ye Xishui's Tower of Death was successful only after absorbing enough resentful souls in that battle.
Although the scope of this Xingluo War was not as large as the Mingdu explosion, the location where it occurred was high above the competition venue where millions of spectators gathered;
The scene was in chaos at that time, with the slaughter by evil soul masters, the energy aftermath of the fight, and even the chaotic trampling. Even if only one in ten or twelve people were killed or injured, it would still be a very horrifying number.
Kong Deming also understood this. He looked into the distance and whispered, "Don't worry. The evil soul master is busy escaping and has no chance to collect resentful souls."
"The self-explosion of the Star Luo Worship Hall Master forced back the two Ultimate Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult. From what I can guess, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. It will be impossible for them to recover without a few years of recuperation, and they may even be left with permanent injuries."
"Only a handful of other evil spirit masters escaped in that horrific explosion. When your Ancestor withdrew, he gave those evil spirit masters a hard push, and the three major forces did not miss the opportunity to beat the fallen dogs. "
Xu Tianxi's eyes lit up: "So, those evil soul masters are almost finished?"
Kong Deming shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true. The evil soul masters who can escape from such a battle are naturally top-notch warriors. The chief and deputy chiefs of the Holy Spirit Church are among them, as well as two Super Douluo and one Titled Douluo."
"This is not the full strength of those evil soul masters. There should be some Title Douluo and Soul Douluo in their lair. There are even more evil soul masters below Soul Saint who are difficult to count."
"Of course, with so many elite fighters dead, it can be considered a serious blow to the army anyway."
Xu Tianxi nodded slightly to show that he understood. The Holy Spirit Cult had lost more than ten Titled Douluo, three Super Douluo, and more than twenty elite Soul Douluo this time. The high-level combat power was severely damaged, and they would not be able to cause any trouble in the short term.
However, the Xuanming Sect had a terrible fight with them this time, and I am afraid that in the future...
"After this battle, let your Ancestor and the others prepare to migrate. No matter what, they can no longer stay in Xuanming City. After I return home, I will start making arrangements and prepare a new habitat for them."
Kong Deming's message came again, and Xu Tianxi nodded in response.
The Holy Spirit Church will definitely retaliate when it has caught its breath, and the Xuanming Sect alone will not be able to withstand it.
At this time, Xiao Hongchen, who was transferred here together, also came back to his senses. He wiped his eyes and said, "I have never seen such a magnificent scene. Is the self-explosion of a top powerhouse so brilliant?"
Above Xingluo Square, the starry sky was a spectacular sight, and the energy level was so high that it was completely immeasurable, far beyond Xiao Hongchen's cognitive limits.
Jing Hongchen's face darkened slightly: "It is indeed terrifying. This energy far exceeds that of a single level nine fixed-type soul guide shell. It takes several shells combined to be comparable."
"I still can't imagine what kind of technology we need to use to produce a cannonball of this power."
Kong Deming sneered and said, "Jing Hongchen, you are still too young and inexperienced. You have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the world of soul guides. How can you predict the future?"
"Now there are level nine fixed-type soul guide shells, how do we know there won't be level ten, level eleven, or even level twelfth fixed-type soul guide shells in the future? Everything is possible."
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen did not dare to refute. He nodded repeatedly like a primary school student being scolded, indicating that Master Kong was right.
He knew that Master Kong had been in seclusion for these years in an attempt to become an unprecedented, conceptual tenth-level soul guide. If successful, it would set a precedent for all time and bring soul guide technology to a new level.
And as Confucius said, his experience was indeed insufficient. In front of Confucius, the knowledge he was proud of was all just tricks.
Xiao Hongchen was stunned watching from the side. He never expected that his grandfather would one day be trained like a grandson. The Grand Tutor was indeed so majestic.
Just as he was about to share his thoughts with Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen discovered that his sister was holding a soul guide device in her hand and taking photos of the distant view from high altitude. He couldn't help but wonder:
"What are you doing?"
"Of course it's filming. You can't even tell that. You're so stupid, bro."
Meng Hongchen clutched the soul guide that looked like a camera and pressed the shutter button continuously, his bright eyes revealing visible excitement.
Xiao Hongchen's forehead was dotted with black lines, and he was puzzled: "Is the new soul guide that Grandpa and Old Xu made for you so fun? I'll ask Grandpa to make one for me later."
"Of course. Recording the beautiful things I see is an unprecedented wonderful feeling." Meng Hongchen, who is fascinated by photography, answered without hesitation.
Xiao Hongchen nodded silently and kept this matter in mind.
When he came back from the Starlight Auction House, Xu Tianxi discussed the idea of filming with Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen said that technology was not a problem. Xu Tianxi took the opportunity to bring up some props that he remembered from his previous life, including this kind of soul guide that could retain images.
Due to time constraints, the two of them made two pieces together, originally one for each of them. However, as soon as Jing Hongchen showed the new equipment in front of his grandchildren, Meng Hongchen set his eyes on it, and unsurprisingly got it in the end.
Xiao Hongchen even asked Xu Tianxi if he could borrow it for two days, but Xu Tianxi solemnly refused, saying he could rub it himself if he wanted to. …
At the core of the explosion, the spectacular starlight spectacle lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually dissipating.
After a series of battles, Xu Tianxi sat cross-legged in meditation. His almost exhausted soul power recovered as before, and he made a new breakthrough, breaking through the bottleneck of level 49 and reaching level 50.
"It's worth it that I always go all out to defeat Ma Xiaotao. Finally, I've broken through to level 50..."
Xu Tianxi opened his eyes and talked to himself, then he let out a long breath and suddenly remembered something:
They left in a hurry, and Ma Xiaotao's body seemed to be still at Xingluo Square. No one knew what happened to her soul bones.
Looking at the smoke-filled Xingluo Square in the distance, Xu Tianxi thought to himself that he had to go treasure hunting, so he wanted to find a ninth-level soul guide to go mining together.
A few soul bones are not too important, what matters most is the sense of accomplishment.
"Hey, Old Xu, you finally woke up? You look pretty good."
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's voice, Xu Tianxi stood up and shook his still aching shoulders, cleaned his bloody face, and said proudly, "That's right. I just fought a big battle and killed three important people from Shrek. If it were in the army, that would be a great achievement. Is that enough to compete for a division commander?"
Xiao Hongchen did not refute when he heard this. Instead, he thought about it seriously and said:
"Based on my understanding of the promotion system for officers in the Ten Great Soul Master Corps, if you are able to go to the military, you will at least be a battalion commander, and promotion to division commander will only take time."
"But the division commander usually has to have the strength of a Soul Douluo and an eighth-level Soul Master. You... shouldn't be that scary without the fixed Soul Master shells, right?"
Xu Tianxi also thought for a while and replied:
"Equipped with the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, I can barely fight against an Eight-ring Soul Douluo. With my special soul skills, I should have a good chance of killing a Soul Douluo."
"If I use the fixed-type soul guide shells, the opponent will definitely die."
In the previous battles with Ma Xiaotao and Du Weilun, he had already used a tactic that combined mental power with soul power. The only hidden means were the secret method of fusing soul rings that his body could not withstand, the second awakening of his main martial soul, and his second martial soul.
If he risked his life at all costs, he had a 60% chance of killing Du Weilun in a head-on battle, but in that case, he would surely be exhausted and would have to lie down for a while.
The reason why he was able to kill so easily before was because Ye Yulin had beaten Du Weilun and Cai Meir half to death, and he also absorbed Xu Xiaoyun's mysterious water power to enhance his soul power. He may not have such good conditions in the future.
Xiao Hongchen sucked in a breath of cold air, and then his face showed anger. He sighed continuously, probably feeling completely desperate.
"Don't be so desperate. Soul mentors are generally more capable of survival than soul masters. I can kill a soul douluo, but it is still very difficult to kill an eighth-level soul mentor."
Xu Tianxi patted Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder and consoled him, "If someone throws an absolute defense soul guide at me someday, I will just have to stay here for a while."
Many soul guides were too over-the-top, and Xu Tianxi was at a loss when he saw them. However, he had the Blade of Living Guardian, which could absorb the vitality of metal and was the nemesis of soul guides. But there was no need to tell Xiao Hongchen about this sad fact.
"Hey... stop comforting me. Who am I, Xiao Hongchen? How could I not be able to bear such a small blow?"
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the Xingluo Royal Family notified us that this competition has been forced to be cancelled. We may have to pack up and go back."
"As for the final champion, runner-up and third place, our Sun Moon Team is first, Xing Luo Royal Academy is second, and Di Ao Academy is third. No one has any objections; but no one is paying attention to this now."
Xu Tianxi nodded. This result was not unexpected.
He then asked, "How many casualties were there in this accident? What is the situation of Xingluo, Xuanming, and the three families?"
"It's tragic. It's said that more than 200,000 people have been killed, and there are even more injured. Countless buildings have collapsed. Many of the masters from our Sun Moon Empire have gone to help with disaster relief."
Xiao Hongchen sighed and continued, "Among the three top forces, Xingluo suffered the most casualties. The Lord of the Worship Hall fell, several Protector of the Nation Douluo died, and Soul Douluo suffered even more casualties."
"There were also Soul Douluos from Xuanming Sect and Body Sect who died. Although the Title Douluos were not dead, everyone was injured. Fortunately, the Xingluo Empire has the world's best healing Soul Master, who can save them no matter how serious the injuries are."
"Of course, the worst sufferer this time must be Shrek. A large number of masters were annihilated."
Speaking of Shrek, Xiao Hongchen finally showed a happy smile on his face. He never had a good impression of these crazy people, and even felt that they were the same as evil soul masters.
He grinned and said, "Grandpa said that we made a huge gain this time and got a lot of spirit bones. From now on, our Sun Moon Empire will not be short of spirit bones for hundreds of years."
"Especially the level 96 Super Douluo who was killed. He had a full set of six soul bones, including a 100,000-year soul bone. Grandpa was so happy."
"This ten thousand year old No. 1 academy is definitely rich. One of the elders has a 100,000 year old soul bone. I wonder how many good things they have at home."
"Grandpa also said that our biggest gain this time is the group of people we captured. If Shrek is not willing to pay the price in exchange, hehe..."
Xiao Hongchen showed a very evil smile on his face, and Xu Tianxi couldn't help but feel some expectations in his heart. He remembered that there were still a few heavyweights in Shrek's participating team this time. Should he participate in it later?
He Caitou, Xiaoxiao, Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochen... Either they have special identities or they are excellent talents. Now that they are in the pocket, it is not easy to get out.
